producers for the St. Paul market, put
the farmers want to get more money for
what they raise. and see no other way
than 10 dispense with the services Of the
middlemen. That is substantially our
position in the matter, and as member
of the dairymen'S association L shall
earnestly favor such proposition with
a view to having milk handled by our
own agent.
..Ioam convinced from an experience
extending over Many years that there is
more profit in sending good and pure
milk to the market than there is in rails
ing wheat, and for the future all my en-
ergics will be devoted to raising grade
cattle, half Attorneys, and possibly
few UOlSteinS. l am glad to
know that the dairy commissioner
is going to make the tests more rigid,
and any results that may be accom-
pliShed through his efforts will inure
alike 10 the benefit OF the honest farmer

Ryan is an exhibit that attracted great
deal of attention at the New Orleans
exposition as the offering Of Dakota,

the exhibit, said that the hunters who
had furnished the specimens. after rang
ing over a wide extent Of territory. re-
ported that the buffalo was extinct,
that in their journeys for year
past they had not encountered single
one Of these animals. which but a few
years ago rOamed the prairie in countless
drOyeS. The mounting of the various
specimens was done by TaXideTmiSt J.
ID. Allen, OF Mandan. who has the repu-
tation of being one of the foremost
artists in his line in the world. Many
ladies, guests at the Ryan. have inspect

EX-Gov. Hubbard returned last even
ing from his unsuccessful mission TO
Washington in the interest Of Mime
apoliS as the meeting place Of the next
national Republican convention, but
did not seem very much depressed over
his failure. Better luck next time.
he responded cheerily to all inquiry
on the subject, but there seemed
to be an impression that we
were too young yet to be accorded
such a signal honor over Chicago and
Eastern cities. Now that the cOnven-
ton matter is settled | shall devote all
the time possible TO securing the re-
moval of the State Reform school to
Red Wing. think GOV. McGill is i'll
clined faYOrably to our request and that
upon his return from the capital he will
take decisive action in this matter which
so directly concerns the future of our
city. The encouragement that would be
given rs by carrying out the recon-
mendatiOnS of the commission cannot be
overeStimated. and an impetus will be
! given building operations in our section
| that would seem at first glance to be in
| credible. We will not listen to any talk
| of compromise, but insist upon the law
being executed to the letter."
